Windows 10: Brother Printer ControlCenter3

I wasn't going to post this here but I'm stuck and since it was Microsoft's update that caused the issue, I thought I might see if you had any suggestions, even if it's a different software. Anyway, I have a Brother Printer MFC-J415W model. It uses a program called Control Center 3 which operates the scanner to my printer. It was working up to I believe January 16th, but as of January 18th, after getting a Microsoft update for Windows 10, this program no longer works. In doing a LOT of reading, I believe the issue to be maybe the removal of the Flash program. And I'm pretty sure that was how the Control Center 3 opened/operated. I could be wrong obviously. I have uninstalled the printer, installed it back on, done all that I can think of with no success. Can you tell me a if this is why my scanner no longer works and b a way to fix it or c a different program to use in place of the Control Center 3. I have searched for something to replace it but I'm not finding anything that sounds like it's for a printer. Thank You in advance for any help. :

Brother Printer exists & works, but won't "Install" - Why?

Check whether I understood you well.
First try: Add new printer, Windows finds printer and loads its own drivers/programme automatically. It wprks but not with the Brother drivers.
Second try: Brother package: failed
I suggest a third try: Add new printer; the printer that I wanted is not listed; continue and see of your model is listed. in the list of printers.
I had difficulties with setting up another Brother printer, and the third try solved it.

 

Can't Access networked Brother Laser printer- To print or use Web I/f

Not all Printer drivers are included in the installation media. Even mine (Brother HL-4040CN), you would need to manually add it to the list:

1. Control Panel->Devices and Printers->Add a Printer
2. Follow the steps to set up a network printer. At one point, Windows will search for available printer, click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
3. Click on "Windows Updates". Windows will start downloading a complete list of Printers.
4. Select your printer name & model then install.

EDIT: Just tried to install as a USB printer for MFC-7820N since I don't have this printer to set up as a network printer. The result as shown in the list after clicking on "Windows Update":

 

Brother MFC J6720DW listed with strange icon in Devices and Printers

I have reinstalled the drivers for my Brother MFC J6720DW and now the printer icon is listed in the unspecified category instead of the printer category. The printer is the "Device" icon to the right.





Right clicking on the icon shows the usual items for a printer (printing properties etc.), In addition it shows a "Browse Files" entry that lists the card reader of the printer.





To the left of the Brother printer icon there is another similar one that seems to be my USB card reader
